Went running on a Sunday evening again. It seems like I’m regaining my stamina, I was able to complete 10k without resting, and it felt like I can keep on running for 1 or 2 more laps.
My thoughts seem to be troubled about many things lately – career, relationships, family, social injustice… Those aren’t really big issues, but perhaps I’m just not good in coping with uncertainties and things I cannot change, I need serenity and faith that God has His good will behind everything that happens under the sun.
It’s been about 3.5 years since I returned to my birth city, but I still feel that I don’t fit in sometimes – the crowdedness, the noisiness, the indulgence in pleasure, possessions, profit, and popularity… I feel like going for a retreat and get away from it all, but my Hawaiian vacation won’t happen until late August!
Just when I’m feeling weak and discouraged, I was given this scripture in today’s devotion:
“You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.” (Hebrews 10:36)
